over which they may at any moment be

cattle are known to have been exposed to
the disease.
"Dr Mclean has instituted vigorous
quarantine. No cattle are permitted to
be driven on to or from any farm where
there is an animal which has been exposed
to the disease, aud the strietest measures
have been adopted to prevent the further
spread of the malsdy. II is probable the
measures will go to the extent OF prohibit

Tn. New Cur. For Consumption.

The N. Y. Tribune has the following in
regard to the new method Of treating con-
sumptives: THE French method Of
treating cases Of consumption by gaseous
enemata was described ia these columns
several months ago aud recommended to
the medical profession in America. The
idea WAS novel one. aud instantly at
tracted widespread attention. Within the
last week accounts Of the treatment OF
patients by this method in New Orleans,
Buffalo, Chicago, Philadelphia and other
cities have been published. In every case
consumptives in IN advanced stage OF the
disease have been experimental upon, and
without exception with favorable results
In the Chicago case there Was an imme
date reduction OF pulse and temperature
material diminution of expectoration
and cessation Of night swests; and in
the other Instances an eqnal improvement
10 the symptoms is recorded. In Phila-
delpbia the enemsta have been applied in
100 cases, and while the surgeons Of the
Home for Consumptives, the German
Hospital and the University Hospital hold
conservative views OF the therapeutic
value Of the treatment. their judgment on
the whole is markedly favorable to it.
Neither the French physician who intro
duced the method 10 his private practice
ia Lyons nor the surgeons who success

proclaimed it to be a positive cure for
